CRI听力:Tarantino to Move Forward with New Western "The Hateful Eight"

American director Quentin Tarantino is moving forward with his next western romp, "The Hateful Eight", during a panel discussion at Comic-Con.

The director halted work on the project when the script was leaked back in April by online media outlet, Gawker.

According to the Hollywood Reporter, before the script leaked, Tarantino already staged as successful reading of the film with a star-studded panel, including actors Tim Roth, Kurt Russell and Samuel L. Jackson.

Tarantino subsequently filed a lawsuit against Gawker for the leak, but withdrew his claim in May. Continuing to stay in the time-period of America's westward expansion, the "Django Unchained" director's next film takes place a few years after the U.S. civil war.

The original version of the script centered on a group of people trapped after a blizzard sets a stagecoach off its route.

Among the group are competing bounty hunters, a runaway Confederate soldier, and a female prisoner.

No date is set on when "The Hateful Eight" continues production.
